--Previous Message-- : The only thing worse than the artwork is the : way Danny is written.

This installment of art was not my favourite either - the poor color shades did not help. On the plus side there were other bad art issues, with strong MU titles, this week too and some of the panels were fine - like the 2 that are in the banner submission below . And yeah, the complete disregard in Iron Fist's rich -and often frustrating- MU canon has been on of my pet peeve problems with too many of his supporting roles for a looong time now. Another nitpick, Tombstone was dealt with, with kid gloves which was done more for themed comical effect than with satisfying karmic results. Otherwise this was a strong concluding chapter to long overdue and hopeful reboot to an encore PM&IF run. There was generally fun content in this premiere storyline -well, except for the nagging wife- and Señor Mágico could be a smart addition to the cast.
